What you need for this book

This is a developer guide, so the thing you will find most useful when you read this book is a computer beside you, where you can try the examples and open, compile, and test the provided projects. The main idea behind the book is to get you up to speed in the development of applications or tooling that use jBPM6, and for this reason the book spends a lot of time with code examples and unit tests to run.

Good programming skills are required to easily understand the examples presented in this book. Most of the chapters complement the covered topics with a set of executable Maven projects. A basic understanding of Maven, Java, and JUnit is required.
